Are you an engaging individual who can help us to improve cancer outcomes and save more lives?

Cancer Research UK are working with partners to improve the prevention and earlier diagnosis of cancer. Primary Care
professionals, especially GPs and their practice teams, have a crucial role to play in early diagnosis- but we
know this is a complex area. We are also engaging with a range of Healthcare Professionals across the cancer
pathway through our programme of Health Professional Engagement, to raise the profile of cancer, identify
activities to improve uptake of bowel screening and cancer outcomes more generally and make change happen at a
local level.

It’s a hugely exciting time to join the Health Professional Engagement Facilitation Team at Cancer Research UK, who
are a key accelerator in driving forward our ambitious new Cancer Research UK organisational strategy.

An opportunity has arisen for a Health Professional Engagement Facilitator to manage our team in North & East
Scotland to…

Build effective relationships with and actively engage all GP practices within the locality to raise the
awareness of the importance of early detection and screening

Work closely with GP Practices to undertake
interventions that support the earlier detection of cancer

Work closely
with health professionals from primary & secondary care organisations to effect improvements in
communication, service delivery and patient experience across the cancer pathway

Manage, train, develop
and support Health Professional Engagement Facilitators (including those covering East of Scotland Health
Boards)

Capture our activity and impact in this area

To join us, we’re looking for self-motivated individuals with...

Experience of partnering with a range of stakeholders to influence and develop sustainable
change

Experience of working with GPs

Strong understanding of primary care and NHS
environments

Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills

Excellent organisational and
project management skills

Experience of managing, developing and motivating others

As the role is field based, you’ll also need to have tenacity and be comfortable working on your own as well as part
of a team. As indicated the role involves engagement with GP practices in the North of Scotland region which
requires frequent travel within the region. We, therefore, expect applicants to be based within this
region.

If this describes you, join our team as we work hard to beat cancer sooner. For full role details, please see

party partners and health professionals. Your application will be treated in strict confidence at all times. The

questions we’d like to ask to find out more about you. Please ensure your CV is no longer than 2 sides of
